= = = NYW = = = A language by Jack Eisenmann Language Goals - A priori - Very simple phonology - Very simple grammar - Simple lexicon Grammar There is one part of speech: adverb. Each sentence contains a single adverb phrase. An adverb phrase consists of two adverbs separated by a colon (pronounced "A"). The first adverb in an adverb phrase describes the second adverb. Adverbs may be grouped together by parentheses (pronounced "Y" and "W"). Adverb phrases may be embedded. Counting is in binary with digits ordered from most significant to least significant.
